Chapter 447 Selecting Medicinal Materials

Although Xiao Ling was very lucky to get the Earth Soul Essence before, he could not use it directly, but needed to use other medicinal materials to neutralize and mix it.

Xiao Ling naturally knew some of the most basic key medicinal materials needed for mixing, which were Tianma Feishi Jing and Danling Juice.

It was a pity that even with Xiao Ling's rich wealth, he had never been able to collect these two natural treasures.

However, if Xiao Ling remembered correctly, these two medicinal materials should have appeared in the Dan World in the original book.

Xiao Ling then planned to collect these two basic materials for mixing the Earth Soul Essence, Danling Juice and Tianma Feishi Jing, and bring them back to Xingyun Pavilion after the Danhui was over, so that Yao Chen could mix the usable liquid medicine.

Anyway, judging from Xiao Ling's current soul realm and alchemy skills, he no longer needed to deliberately use the Earth Soul Essence to improve his soul cultivation.

With his ability to refine the top-grade elixir, it is more than enough for him to win the championship of this alchemy meeting.

After all, the mixing of different natural materials and treasures is really a very difficult thing. If the technique is not fine enough and the control during mixing is insufficient, some of these rare materials will be consumed more or less.

And with Yao Chen's current ability, compared with Xiao Ling, he can naturally maximize the effectiveness of these natural materials and treasures.

This Tianma Feishi Essence is really hard to find. This thing is like medicine but not medicine, like stone but not stone. If it is not a very experienced person, it is difficult to distinguish it from a pile of rocks.

Danling Juice is relatively easier to identify. It is a turquoise viscous slurry with a unique fragrance. However, it seems that Danling Juice is not collected here.

Even if Xiong Zhan had collected it before, with the unique aroma and taste of Danling Juice, Xiong Zhan might have drunk it as a drink.

Xiao Ling's eyes scanned the square slowly and unhurriedly. Time passed quickly under his slow inspection. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

During this period, Zi Yan enjoyed tasting the rare medicinal materials and natural treasures that she had never tasted before on the medicinal materials square, which really satisfied her appetite.

After Xiong Zhan got some benefits from Xiao Ling, he stopped talking to Xiao Ling.

He turned to find Zi Yan, and with expectation in his heart, he took the opportunity to put forward his ideas to Zi Yan, hoping that Zi Yan could take him out of this pill world.

After listening to Xiong Zhan's request, Zi Yan began to think secretly in her heart.

She felt that although Xiong Zhan had fought with Xiao Ling before, he did not hurt Xiao Ling. Although his attitude towards her and Xiao Ling was not very good, it was still acceptable.

Moreover, Xiong Zhan also let Miss Zi Yan taste many good things that she had never tasted before.

In this way, Zi Yan's mood became comfortable. So, she didn't care too much and agreed to Xiong Zhan's request.

Anyway, with Zi Yan's current ability, it would not be difficult to take Xiong Zhan away from this Dan Realm.

After Xiao Ling finished the Dan Realm assessment, she would naturally find an opportunity to secretly leave this Dan Realm and take Xiong Zhan away with her. There would be no trouble, just a matter of convenience...

After hearing this answer that made him very happy, Xiong Zhan was full of joy. Immediately, his attitude towards Zi Yan became more attentive, and he obeyed Zi Yan's orders. He looked like he almost kowtowed to Zi Yan on the spot.

In the square, Xiao Ling's footsteps did not become impatient at all because of the slow passage of time. It should be noted that the matter of identifying medicines absolutely cannot tolerate half-heartedness. After all, many medicinal materials look very similar. If you can't concentrate seriously, it is indeed a difficult task to identify them one by one.

Moreover, during this process, Xiao Ling had to pick out some medicinal materials and natural treasures that caught his eye from time to time, so he was inevitably a little distracted.

Finding medicinal materials is a very time-consuming and mentally taxing task. Fortunately, God will not let down those who work hard. Just as Xiao Ling's footsteps gradually walked to the other end of the square, his footsteps finally stopped suddenly.

And his eyes were also fixed tightly on an inconspicuous corner. There, there was a green stone, lying quietly in the fragrant soil...

This green stone, from a distance, was indeed no different from an ordinary stone, but when you get close, you can find that it is covered with some very strange patterns, and the surface of the stone is slightly transparent. If you put it in a place with strong light, you can vaguely see some viscous slurry flowing inside...

Xiao Ling's eyes paused on this green stone for a moment. On his face, which had always been calm before, a hint of joy finally slowly appeared.

He slowly suppressed the little surprise in his heart and walked to the front of the green stone.

Then, he slowly bent down and carefully held this green stone, which was only the size of a palm, in his palm.

As soon as his palm touched the green stone, a warm and cool feeling came over him instantly. He shook it gently, and there was a slight sound of water swaying inside.

"Tsk tsk, this is the Tianma jade stone essence, it's really extraordinary..."

Xiao Ling concentrated on checking this green stone back and forth for a long time, and finally determined that this thing was one of the necessary items for mixing the soul of the earth's core.

"It's worthy of being the Wanyao Mountain Range, which gave birth to most of the most precious natural treasures in the Dan Realm. Now this Dan Realm has been ruined, but it can still produce such rare natural treasures, which is really extraordinary."

"If the Dan Realm was in a normal state at the time, I really don't know what the scene would be like. I'm afraid that the Dan Realm at that time would definitely not be much inferior to the Shennong Mountain Range of the Yao Clan..."

Carefully putting this Tianma jade stone essence into the ring, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If he were to look for these things in the outside world, he would probably have to spend a lot of effort to get them, but here, he only needs to bend down to look for them.

After finding this piece of Tianma Feishi Essence, Xiao Ling then slowly strolled around the medicinal materials square, selecting and collecting various rare medicinal materials while exploring whether there was any Danlingjiang here.

However, even though Xiao Ling carefully selected all the natural materials and treasures in the entire medicinal materials square, he still failed to find the whereabouts of Danlingjiang here, which naturally made Xiao Ling feel a little disappointed.

Since he couldn't find Danlingjiang, Xiao Ling didn't dwell on it too much. However, as soon as he raised his head, Xiao Ling's sight fell on Xiong Zhan standing aside.

His heart couldn't help but move slightly, thinking, isn't there someone who is familiar with this place here!

So, Xiao Ling asked, "Brother Xiong Zhan, do you know where the Dan Lingjiang is produced in this Dan Realm or the Wan Yao Mountain Range? This thing is useful to me. If Brother Xiong Zhan knows, please tell me something."

As he said this, Xiao Ling also described the appearance and characteristics of Dan Lingjiang in detail, in order to make Xiong Zhan understand it better.

After all, Xiong Zhan is just a demon beast, usually just eating, and he really doesn't know about things like medicinal materials.

Xiao Ling's mind moved, and then he urged the power of the soul to perform the dream spirit shadow. In Xiong Zhan's sight, the general appearance of Dan Lingjiang recorded in the book was materialized for Xiong Zhan to observe.

After Xiong Zhan carefully looked at the thing in front of him, he thought for a while, then raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly realized.

This kind of medicinal material called "Dan Lingjiang" does exist in this Wan Yao Mountain Range. Xiong Zhan himself had taken some of it as a drink, and these Danling juices belonged to a seventh-level magic beast under his command.

"Yes, I have a seventh-level Xuanshui Tiger Jiao under my command. In the area where it lives, there is the medicinal material described by the gentleman. Since Brother Xiao Ling needs this thing, I will personally take you to negotiate with it. However, it is my subordinate after all, please don't make it too difficult for it."

"In that case, then I will trouble Brother Xiong Zhan to take me there..."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling's face was slightly happy, and some expectations surged in his heart. He smiled lightly and said casually.

"I am definitely not a vicious person. Since this Xuanshui Tiger Jiao is Brother Xiong's subordinate, I can exchange it with it at that time, and I will definitely not make it difficult for you, Brother Xiong Zhan."

Seeing that Xiao Ling was so reasonable and did not rely on his own strong strength to forcibly rob, Xiong Zhan looked up to Xiao Ling's character and conduct in his heart. After all, Xiao Ling is a human, and Xuanshui Tiger Jiao is a demon beast like Xiong Zhan.

If it were someone else, or even a demon beast that he didn't know, it would be very likely that he would kill him in order to seize the Danling Juice.

Xiong Zhan thought to himself that if he could follow such a person with both good character and conduct in the future, his future would definitely not be bad, and he wouldn't have to worry about being harassed or anything like that.

"Okay, brother Xiao Ling, come with me. The cave where Xuanshui Tiger Jiao is located is not far from here, just a few steps away, it won't be too troublesome..."

After saying that, Xiong Zhan waved his hand cheerfully and strode towards the exit of the stone hall.

"Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, how was your harvest this time? Are there a lot of good things here?" Seeing Xiao Ling taking action, Zi Yan hurriedly came to Xiao Ling's side, took one of his hands, and said happily.

"That's true. After we go back, I can refine a few eighth-grade pills for you that you have never eaten before, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied." Xiao Ling smiled slightly, revealing a doting smile, and said casually.

"New pills? Great! Then I'm looking forward to it." Zi Yan's eyes burst into light, and her excitement was beyond words.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling could only smile helplessly. Then, he stretched out his hand and hugged Zi Yan's petite body into his arms, and then followed the footsteps of Xiong Zhan who left in front.

Noticing the actions of the two, Xiong Zhan couldn't help but look back at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan. Although he didn't show any emotions on the surface, he couldn't help but be full of curiosity in his heart.

Logically speaking, this young lady came from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and should not have any connection with a human. However, the relationship between the two showed a very intimate appearance.

From the inherited memories in his mind, the ancient Taixu dragons all live in the void and rarely show their bodies in the outside world. Ordinary people may not be able to see a living ancient Taixu dragon in their entire lives.

Moreover, there are many Dou Zun masters like Xiao Ling in the ancient Taixu dragon clan, and even Dou Sheng masters are countless.

Even if he racked his brains to think about it, he couldn't figure out how the two people had established an intersection.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Xiong Zhan simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he just needed to concentrate on doing his own job well. As for other things, they were not within his scope of concern.

…

When he came to the outside of the stone hall, Xiong Zhan first said a few words to the two monster brothers who had previously served as gatekeepers, and then personally led the way in front, leading Xiao Ling to quickly fly towards the area where the Xuanshui Tiger Jiao lived.

Along the way, there were no unexpected situations. Because of the huge noise caused by the previous battle between Xiong Zhan and Xiao Ling, no contestant dared to set foot in the depths of Wanyao Mountain Range at this moment.

Even in the first half of the journey, there were not many monsters encountered. They were all frightened by the previous noise. It would take some time for those fleeing monsters to have the courage to return to the previous habitat.

However, even if they encountered those monsters, it would not cause any trouble. With Xiong Zhan leading the way in front, his fierce breath spread like a tide, making the Wanyao Mountain Range, which was originally ravaged by monsters, unusually peaceful at this moment.

In this land, Xiong Zhan is the undisputed king, and no monster dares to challenge his authority. Even those usually majestic and powerful seventh-level monsters had to restrain their edges and behave themselves in front of Xiong Zhan, the overlord of Wanyao Mountain Range, and dared not make any rash moves.

Not long after, after a period of soaring, several people arrived at a wonder.

Here, two towering peaks pierce the sky like swords, and between the peaks, a clear stream meanders like a silver ribbon between heaven and earth.

Arriving here, Xiao Ling sensed a faint fragrance, which was consistent with the knowledge in his memory. He immediately recognized that this was the unique fresh breath of Danlingjiang.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling's eyes flashed a ray of joy, which was the expectation of the treasure that was about to be in hand.

Several people landed on the ground one after another, and the scene in front of them made them stop and marvel. At the source of the stream, a huge stone about ten meters high stood, covered with thick moss, as if it was a green coat deposited by years.

Right in the center of the boulder, a stone hole attracted attention, and a few points of emerald green viscous liquid were faintly revealed in the hole. It was the source of the tempting fragrance, which slowly drifted out and filled the air.

As the eyes slowly moved down, it was found that under the boulder was the source of the stream, where there was a deep pool as wide as ten feet.

The pool was extremely deep, and it was difficult to explore the bottom of the pool.

The water surface was as calm as a mirror, without a single ripple. The entire deep pool was immersed in deep tranquility and harmony, as if it was the most tranquil embrace of nature.

When Xiong Zhan arrived here, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He took a firm step and walked to the edge of the deep pool in a few steps.

Suddenly, he stomped his feet hard, and the earth trembled, and the surface of the pool was stirred up with layers of ripples, spreading out...

Then, Xiong Zhan opened his mouth and spoke, and his voice was like rolling thunder, vast and far-reaching, echoing between the empty valleys.

"Haha, little tiger dragon, I haven't seen you for decades. I came here to find you this time. I want to borrow something to meet my urgent need. Why don't you show up and meet me quickly!"

After Xiong Zhan's words fell, the echo reverberated in the deep valley, stirring up circles of sound waves.

The ripples stirred up in the ten-foot-wide deep pool spread outward, and a moment later, a majestic breath rose from the bottom of the pool.

"Gululu!" A dull sound broke the calmness of the pool. Xiao Ling and Zi Yan stared at the same time, and saw that in the center of the deep pool, like a pot of boiling water, a series of bubbles rushed out from the bottom of the water, stirring the water surface...

"Hualala!" There was a sound of water, and then a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the deep pool, bringing up pieces of splashing water.

The black shadow was not huge, only about two meters long, but its whole body was covered with scales that flashed with a faint blue light.

The texture on the scales was like tiger stripes, exuding a fierce and sharp aura.

Its huge mouth opened and closed ferociously, revealing rows of white teeth that flashed coldly in the sun, making people shudder.

As soon as the black water tiger dragon emerged from the water, it turned its eyes, and almost instantly, its sight locked on Xiao Ling and others by the pond.

When its eyes fell on the majestic Xiong Zhan with his arms folded across his chest, a trace of human fear flashed in its eyes. So when it spoke, its tone revealed a kind of respect and humility.

"Respected Lord Xiong Zhan, I wonder what important matter has brought you here to look for my Tiger Dragon today?"

Xiong Zhan did not waste time talking to the Black Water Tiger Dragon. He pointed directly in the direction of the Dan Ling Juice, nodded slightly, and then said bluntly: "This Dan Ling Juice is very important to my friend. I remember that you have this thing hidden here, so I came to ask you for it today." (End of this chapter)
